Campaign Finance Controversies
This chapter examines the fallout from a presidential nominee's unexpected withdrawal and the resulting legal and ethical dilemmas surrounding campaign financing. It analyzes how leftover campaign funds can be reallocated to new candidates, the implications for donor rights, and the scrutiny of fundraising practices, including concerns over 'smurfing.' The discussion also emphasizes the roles of the Federal Election Commission and state attorneys general in addressing potential violations and ensuring a transparent electoral process.
